Abstract: This lecture digs into some of the back story to current anthropological interest in relations. It focuses on aspects of the British school of social anthropology, and on one of its enduring conundrums. In order to make its presentation at least partly digestible, the author constructs a light scaffolding for it after the manner of a detective novel. So it will investigate The Case of the Changing Perspective and, as a plot within the plot, The Case of the Blind Spot.
